What is wrong with this?


D.C. denies water to Libyan embassy - U.S. Life - MSNBC.com
Squatters allegedly lived in embassy
The United Arab Emirates took control of the embassy property after the Libyans left. And, according to the suit, squatters stayed there for several years without permission from Libya or UAE.

There were squatter in an embassy. With the rent being charged in the captiol this sounded like the best deal going.

As on the closing night of a long-running play, a lot of the old stars came out for the White House briefing rooms finale. There were press secretaries for five of the last six presidents, and reporters who have haunted the building since John F. Kennedy. The current tenant stopped by. And for old times' sake, Sam Donaldson showed up to shout questions again.

After 13,271 days of constant spinning, the broken-down, rat-infested firetrap officially known as the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room was retired yesterday.


During the Clinton Admin. I had the pleasure of helping White House Communication Director George Caudall place the plague before the dedication of the room and which included the upgrade to Handicapped access. We will be watching to see if once the room reopens will it be ADA compliant and do they call it the same name.

How hot is it in DC


This picture was taken at 9AM and the sidewalk was hot enough to cook eggs.

Bringing their pain to the streets of DC.



I don't think I have to add anything to this other than we should not forget that there is a price in human life on all side for this and any war.

Peace in the Middle East.
